An Active Birthday is The Best Birthday

Your child’s birthday is coming up, and that means you need to plan a party. It’s important to think about the theme, location, what the kids will be doing, and many other factors within the party. Today, we’re going to talk about active birthday parties and why those are important.

While most children’s birthday parties are active, we’re talking in particular about birthday parties at open gyms or play gyms. These parties take activity up to the next level by creating birthday parties designed around moving and being active. With that, comes many benefits that you might not have thought about.

Safety

First, these parties, especially at Bodies in Motion, take place in safe and closed environments with trained staff at your disposal. You won’t have to worry about other people joining your fun day at the park or sitting down at the tables you reserved. In addition, should someone get hurt, the staff is trained and has first aid supplies right around the corner to take care of everything.

All Weather

Next, these types of birthday parties are perfect for any weather. As we all know, the weather in Boise can be unpredictable. As such, it can be hard to plan an active birthday party outside when a month or two in advance. With this type of birthday party, you’ll be inside and dry no matter what is happening outside.

Planned Activities

While everyone loves time on the playground and inflatable castles, it can be hard to get everyone on the same page having fun at a party. With a Bodies in Motion birthday party, children can take part in planned activities that keep them all having fun and talking together.

Relaxed Parents

Children require watching all the time. While birthday parties at open gyms are no different, they are much safer and enclosed. A such, you don’t have to worry about following your child around to keep them safe. Simply keeping an eye on them while you talk to the other parents will be enough. That means you can relax just a little while everything goes according to plan.

Physical Activity

When you work with children at a birthday party, you know how hyper they can get. It’s made worse by the cake, candy, pizza, and ice cream that generally accompany a birthday party. However, this won’t be as much of a problem at a birthday party at an open gym. Now, they can get all their energy out on obstacle courses and challenges so that when they go home, they’re not bouncing off the walls with pent-up energy.

Simplify Themes

When you pick a birthday party at home or a park, you are in charge of finding all the tables, decorations, and themes. When you go to an open gym, chances are they can provide a room with tables and chairs if not a set of decorations for you to use. That’s one less thing you have to worry about in the big rush to plan a birthday party for your child.


Overall, planning a birthday party for a child will always be something that requires time. You’ll usually have ways for the children to run around a play. However, if you choose an open gym like Bodies in Motion, you give your children to the ability to play in any weather in a safe space where you have fewer worries and more time to enjoy your child’s birthday.
